Ingredients
  • 3 cups diced rhubarb (about 12 oz)
  • 2 TBS water
  • 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries
  • 3 TBS honey, or more to taste
Instructions
  1. Combine rhubarb and water in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered 10-15 minutes or until the rhubarb is broken down and the water in the bottom looks thick and syrupy.
  2. Transfer to a blender and add the strawberries. Blend until smooth, taste, and add honey to taste. I used 3 TBS and it resulted in a delightfully tart fruit leather. If you want a sweet leather, you might use up to 8 TBS, or ½ cup honey. Again, taste test to be sure.
  3. Spread the puree over leather trays in your dehydrator, or cover your trays with parchment paper to spread the puree. It should cover 2 -10x10 inch squares, or two dehydrator trays in my dehydrator.
  4. Dehydrate the fruit leather at 135 F for 6-8 hours. When done it should not be sticky anywhere on the tray. If the edges are looking crunchy before the center is set, that is ok. Simply let them sit out overnight and they will reabsorb humidity from the air and become soft again.
